And… I’m back. Spent most of last week traveling in Houston for work. This was my first significant time spent in the big ole state of Texas, and in some ways it’s a different world down there.

First, housing is much cheaper. Like 50% cheaper than here – and with no state income tax, cost of living must be much lower. It was 90 and humid all week – I loved it. I had the opportunity to go to Minute Maid Park and watch the Astro’s play. It feels like they just tried to cram a MLB stadium into a few spare blocks they had open in downtown – the place is tiny. All the modern amenities, but looking into the outfield and just seeing walls and no bleachers wasn’t right.

Demographics were very different. Texas state flags were everywhere – they don’t call it the Lonestar State for nothing.

Now, back to blogging.
